5.0 out of 5 stars
now published as 'The Battle for Castle Cockatrice',
By gypsy.castle (Nottingham, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The talking parcel (Hardcover)
I can remember my head teacher reading this book to me in his class 17 years ago and am now revisiting it as literature for some theatre workshops with year 6 children. The colourful characters, language and visual images must be passed down to the next generation. the parrot with lumbago, the pheonix and the screaming mandrakes were just a part of the books appeal. It definately ranks with its predecessors like C.S.Lewis, Lewis Carroll and Edward Lear and a must for any child(or adult!!) who has read Lemony Snickett, Artemis Fowl or the Harry Potter books. Of course thats only my opinion so id recommend that you read it yourself!!

Great Book to start children or young adults with,
By "plibrary" (Iowa, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Talking Parcel (Hardcover)
I read this book as a young child, and absolutely fell in love with it. I checked it out of my home town library many, many, many times. I truly wish it was still in print--I would buy it for my home and the libray I am director of. The characters are charming, funny, scary, loveable, and very imaginative. The story draws you in, and makes you wish there was a sequel so you could read some more. Would highly recommend to someone else.
